How to choose a direction in the IT field?

Question

IT education

Hello! I am 16 years old, I live in Kyiv, I moved to the 10th grade. Since childhood, I have been drawn to computer technology, I have always been curious about how it all works, etc., how a computer works. I can call myself a confident PC user (I will assemble a PC, flash a BIOS, a smartphone, rearrange Windows (no matter how trite it sounds), if the computer breaks down, I can determine what kind of components are out of order). In general, I like to understand something new that is connected with computers, I follow Hi-Tech news. Then I already knew that in the future I want to connect my life with the IT sphere. I started to study what are the directions in the IT field, how and where to study and just got confused in all this, and a web programmer and a web designer, and a system administrator, a programmer, etc. etc. + many programming languages. In general, please guide me on the right path, how do i get the direction? Where and how do you study? Is it worth going to paid language courses?
PS Very assiduous, in childhood I adored Lego :)

Answer 1

Direct on the right path - see what is more interesting to you and study it. You gravitate towards the pieces of iron - study the pieces of iron. I recommend trying Arduino. reasonable fee for training.
Better yet, come up with some kind of project for yourself.
If on the Internet, write, for example, from scratch an online store selling, well, I don’t know, some kind of Chinese goods. Choose a language, choose a framework for the language, raise the base, write web. Choose a hoster for this business, buy an address (pocket money for the address and the name should be more than enough). Well, in the process, you will already understand what was more interesting, writing code or raising the system and poking around in the intricacies of the tools.
Or make some kind of game, on the same unit, if you gravitate towards games more.

Answer 2

yes, they say above correctly, you just need to do something, I will add - what will bring a visible and quick result now, it is very, VERY important that the motivation does not go out.
the result is something that can be viewed through the browser, blinking lamps, put it on google play, well, or for which they will give money.
